Growl Me, Maybe by Ava Hunter

When a secret necromancer with a daughter and a cursed ex-enforcer collide, the past doesn’t just come back to haunt them…
It crashes on their doorstep — and calls him Daddy.

Mena Graves has spent the last two years raising her daughter alone and burying the memory of the one night that changed her life. She’s got enough to handle working the
Saltwater Grove ER, keeping her death magic under wraps, and avoiding questions about Lyra’s very unique parentage. The last thing she needs?
Jax Hollow, the wolf who vanished without a word—and just passed out on her hospital floor.
Jax didn’t leave by choice. Exiled by a deadly curse and hunted for the Nightfang blood in his veins, he never stopped thinking about the woman he lost or the daughter he never knew he had. But when a wave of corrupted necromancy starts targeting his kind, he’ll have to team up with the one woman who makes his wolf ache—and burns hotter than any battle scar.
She’s the mother of his child. He’s the man fate won’t let her forget.
And as danger circles Saltwater Grove, neither of them can deny:
Some bonds were never meant to break.
